Although the decision had already been made on the first night, it would naturally be best if he could break through to the late stage of the combined armor before Dr. Murong arrived.

Now there is no sign of a breakthrough, which makes Murong Xiaoxiao and them disappointed.

On the first night, he didn't pay much attention to this matter, and he still cultivated on his own, even on the way.

It is worth mentioning that in the past few days, two of the protectors in various cities have broken through to the middle stage, especially Dugu Yan and both of them have broken through to the middle stage, which has also raised the overall strength of the team to a higher level, especially the defense.

Thinking about it, after Dugu Yan and the two broke through to the Imperial Sky Period, the defense of the fusion energy sword and shield they jointly cast would undoubtedly be stronger, and they would have a better chance of resisting the attacks of the eighth-order alien beasts, which naturally made everyone safer.

It was also when they saw that someone had broken through to the Imperial Sky Stage, so they were even more looking forward to encountering an eighth-order beast on the first night, but they still hadn't encountered a beast of this level in the past few days.

They had been away from Shenao Island for many days on the first night, and they had hoarded a large amount of materials, which according to the estimation of the engineers was enough to build two small cities on the island.

The reason why the efficiency of hoarding materials is so fast is not only because it is much more convenient for them after using airships on the first night, but also because many masters who have settled on Shenao Island will also go out to mine and stock up on materials.

There are many monks stationed on Shenao Island, including many elite masters of major mercenary groups, and these people are also responsible for mining various minerals in addition to ensuring the safety of the people on the island.

On the first night, the original intention of building a transit station on Shenao Island was to process various materials to facilitate the construction of cities in the east in the future, and the masters of the major mercenary groups naturally had to be responsible for mining mines after they settled in.

Because Shenao Island is in the center of Shenao Lake, especially the Tiantian Shenao can deter foreign beasts, the people on the island are very safe, so they can divide a lot of people to go out to mine or something.

The elite squads of the major mercenary groups are heading towards the west of Shenao Lake, they are responsible for mining the mines that Lei Hong has already discovered, escorting some engineers with their strength, plus some robot assistance, it is still very easy to open a mine or something.

Just like the first night, these people went out by airship, so it was much easier to transport all kinds of materials.

The personnel of the two parties work together, and the efficiency of hoarding materials is naturally much faster.

Although the hoarded materials are enough to build two cities on the island, the elite teams of the major mercenary groups still do not stop, after all, they may all mine some materials and hoard them, which can then be handed over to engineers or robots for processing.

Some of the processed materials were used for construction on the island, and the other part was hoarded for later use in the construction of the city in the East.

As for the first night, since they had already stockpiled a lot of materials, they could take a break in this matter for a while, and then spend more time hunting powerful alien beasts.

However, they couldn't continue their exploration on the first night, because they couldn't get to the news from Dr. Murong that they would be on the island in a few days.

Although there were still a few days to arrive, they were far away from Shenao Island on the first night, and it would take some time to rush back, so they had to return in order not to miss it.

"It's a pity that I didn't encounter an eighth-order beast, so it's a little unwilling to return like this."

Yuan Yi sighed lightly, and he looked at everyone: "After all, after discovering the eighth-order beast, the seniors can join forces with the seniors who came behind to kill it. ”

"There's no way, Dr. Murong and they will arrive on Shenao Island in five or six days, and it will take a few days for us to rush back, and the time is a little tight, and we are no longer allowed to continue to explore eastward."

Dugu Yi was humane, seeing everyone's disappointed looks, she smiled: "When we go back, we won't take the airship directly, and return from the road we explored before, although the speed will be much faster than when we came, but there is still a chance to find powerful beasts, and it is even possible to encounter eighth-order beasts." ”

"I hope so."

Flowling said lazily, and it was clear that he didn't have much hope.

"Alright, little ones, get ready to turn back......"

Yang Mo said, but he was interrupted before he finished speaking.

What interrupted Yang Mo was a powerful aura transmitted from the east, although the owner of the aura was still far away from everyone, but everyone felt a sense of oppression, including Lei Hong, who were masters of the Imperial Sky Period.

The alien beast that could make Lei Hong and them have a strong sense of oppression must be the eighth order, and after feeling this breath, they suddenly became excited on the first night.

"This, the aura of this strange beast is so powerful, it doesn't seem to be worse than the black dragon I saw at the beginning, and even worse than the black dragon after evolving into a dragon."

Meng You was amazed, she looked at the first night: "After the Black Jiao evolved into a dragon, it has broken through to the middle of the eighth order, doesn't this mean that the strange beast we encountered this time may also be in the middle of the eighth order?!" ”

Everyone nodded, they all thought so, but they didn't speak, but looked at Lei Hong and the others, obviously asking them for confirmation.

"Well, at least in the middle of the eighth order."

Duguyan nodded, her tone was unusually determined.

"Hey, it's really an eighth-order, I'll just say that if we continue to travel east, we can also meet an eighth-order beast."

He was excited when he swept away the laziness before, and then looked at everyone expectantly: "Then should we go over and find out the situation?" It's hard to kill, but you've figured out what kind of beast it is. ”

"Still don't, it's too dangerous."

Dugu Yiren shook her head, her expression was a little solemn: "If it is an alien beast in the early stage of the eighth order, the seniors will still have some chance to kill it, but the alien beast in the middle of the eighth order has no chance at all. ”

In fact, even if Lei Hong's strength was a little higher than when they fought against the black dragon, it would be difficult for them to kill the early eighth-order beasts, and they were able to kill the black dragon mainly by relying on the assistance of the Heaven Replenishing Divine Ao.

Although the Heaven Replenishing Divine Ao did not launch many attacks on the Black Jiao, the body protection ice armor it condensed for Lei Hong and the others could allow them to attack unscrupulously, otherwise there was no possibility at all if they wanted to kill the Black Dragon.

Now that the Heaven Mending Divine Ao is not around, Lei Hong is very dangerous to the beast in the middle of the eighth order, and they don't even have a chance to intercept it and then fight for everyone to escape.

"Well, with our strength, it's too risky to deal with the alien beasts in the middle of the eighth order, and we can avoid them."

Liufeng echoed, and he looked ahead: "Since we have determined that there are eighth-order beasts here, we can join forces with them to explore when other masters arrive on Shenao Island in the future." ”

Liufeng's proposal was immediately echoed by many people, including Lei Hong.

Even Lei Hong was not interested in probing that strange beast, let alone the others, especially since they didn't have the confidence to retreat in the face of the mid-eighth order beast.

Since none of the apologists had any ideas, they could only suppress the curiosity in their hearts on the first night, and then they turned around and returned.

Of course, on the first night, they didn't go back the same way, but diverged from an angle, so that they could explore more places, and of course, they also had the opportunity to meet suitable beasts.

"Brother Night, since there are eighth-order alien beasts here, then there must be more eighth-order alien beasts further east, and there may even be late-eighth-order ones."

Murong Xiaoxiao said, her pretty face was full of hope: "With the current strength of the human race, there is almost no chance against the alien beasts of the late eighth order, even the city lord's predecessors and their realm stage masters, doesn't this mean that we are going to build a city around here?" ”

"Well, that's probably the case."

The first night nodded, and then his tone changed: "But it is up to Uncle Lei and them to make a decision, no, it needs to be decided after the high-level discussions of each city." ”

"It is very difficult for humans to deal with the alien beasts in the late eighth order, and it is dangerous to continue to travel east, so naturally they can't go east anymore."

Nangong Bingyu said lightly, she looked at everyone: "So after discovering the eighth-order late-stage beast, it's time to find a suitable place to build a city." ”

"Humans can't deal with the alien beasts in the late eighth order, so isn't it too dangerous to build a city on the territory of the alien beasts?"

Shan Bing's brow furrowed.

"Of course, we have to distance ourselves from the alien beasts of the late eighth order."

Meng You blurted out, but her expression was slightly solemn when she thought of something: "But most of the territory of the eighth-order alien beasts is very large, even if we retreat some distance, it is difficult to guarantee that we will not be targeted by it, if the eighth-order late-stage alien beasts really do it, then wouldn't it be very dangerous for us?" ”

"Don't worry, although it is difficult for humans to kill the alien beasts of the late eighth order, it is not too much of a problem to repel them."

Yang Mo interjected, and he laughed loudly: "Don't forget that when the time comes, we will have the city wall to cover, plus a large number of crossbows and laser cannons to defend the city, hey, this is different from the battle of encountering alien beasts in the wild, and it is no problem to ensure everyone's safety." ”

"Even if it goes well, especially if you have concentrated multiple masters, you will have a chance to successfully kill the alien beasts in the late eighth order." Yang Mo added.

Hearing Yang Mo's words, everyone was immediately relieved, because they also knew that with the protection of the city, it would be much easier to deal with the powerful beasts, especially since they were going to build a big city in the east.

The so-called big city means that more crossbows and laser cannons will be placed to defend the city, hundreds or even thousands, plus the large array of city protection, as Yang Mo said, it is indeed not too difficult to resist the alien beasts in the late eighth order.

However, everyone also knew that even with the assistance of various city defense equipment such as the city wall, it would not be so easy to kill the alien beasts in the late eighth order, because they knew very well that once the alien beasts were injured, they would most likely escape.

In the face of the fleeing beasts, humans may not dare to chase them out, after all, without the assistance of the city protection array and various city defense equipment, they may not be able to resist the attack of the beasts.

"But what if a late-stage eighth-order beast sneaks up on us before we succeed in building the city?"

Murong Xiaoxiao thought of this possibility.

"Uh, this ......"

Meng Ye was stunned, she also knew that this situation was not impossible.

"Then it's up to us how we build the city."

Lei Hong said, he looked at everyone: "We can build some city walls first, especially place a large number of city-guarding crossbows, laser cannons, especially city-guarding crossbows that further improve their power, so that even if we don't build a city, we can join forces to resist the sneak attack of the late-stage eighth-order beasts." ”

"Of course, this requires some masters in the field stage, which means that the eldest brother and the eldest brother Nangong have to come in a hurry." Lei Hong added.

"Hey, building a big city in the east is for the sake of the development of the entire human race, and Brother Lei and they will definitely come."

Yang Mo said with a smile, he was full of confidence in this.
